What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving 35 MPH, the brake pedal was resistant when it was depressed. The vehicle would not stop and the contact rear ended another vehicle. The road conditions were dry and there were no warning indicator lights prior to the failure. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The front bumper was damaged and the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the brake failure.
While having the SUV repaired because of a drive train failure, the auto dealership indicated to me that the fan clutch was not working and defaulted to maximum speed.
